In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, mantras and chants have been passed down from Lama to Lama, generation to generation.

Mantras and Chants are ritualized prayers and invocations. The special way of singing and repeating creates a clear atmosphere,
where your inner spirit can resonate.
They help you just by listening, but even more by practicing to find a place of inner peace.

Lama Tenzin Sangpo has selected eight Buddhist Mantras from his lineage tradition of the Vajrayana Buddhism
for this musical cooperation with composer, producer and musician Margot Reisinger.

The blend of his strong and spiritual voice with Margot`s meditative music offers a harmonious
balance of traditional and contemporary musical genres.

Artists info:
Margot Reisinger is already well kown with her worldmusic project Existence, and with
several other releases at Costa Verde Production: Music For Inner Balance, Buddha & Bonsai
and others.
Talent and lifelong dedication to music made her an outstanding world musician of our time.

Lama Tenzin Sangpo was born in Tibet. He received an extensive education in all aspects
of the spiritual path and completed also the traditional three-year retreat. He leads monks in their
chanting and visualization practices, serves as the chant leader at Buddhist ceremonies and is conducting
meditation seminars all over the world. He joyfully shares his deep knowledge of Buddhist views
and practices with anyone who wants to experience the Buddha Dharma.
Currently Lama Tenzin is the resident teacher at the Rangjung Yeshe Gomde in Austria.

A brief introduction to this CD from Lama Tenzin himself you will find inside, as well as
a short description of each mantra and the complete texts in phonetic .

I would like to give you a brief introduction to this CD.
These mantras provide an extraordinary and unique method of support for everyone.
In the Vajrayana Buddhist path, this is known as “Hearing Liberation”.

The melodies are derived from my own lineage tradition that I received very kindly from my very, very venerable master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Lama Butse (also known as the great chant leader, Pema Tashi).

We have included a broad range of instrumental music from around the world, which in my feeling, resonates well with these mantras and perhaps also makes them more accessible to the modern ear than only traditional Tibetan instruments.

I sincerely hope all of you will derive joy from listening to them.

Generally, whenever we recite mantras, at that moment we are combining deity and meditation together. Deity, mantra, and meditative absorption are central to the practice of Vajrayana Buddhism.
